By: Jaime Neely - Jul 31, 2014

Disney mash-ups, tributes and products dominate this collection of the most popular July pop culture trends for 2014. The release of Maleficent in May inspired a wide range of products. From high fashion editorials to modern villain makeovers (in which Maleficent is made over with a more contemporary look) and digitized portraits, there is no shortage of ways for consumers to satisfy their appetite for all things Maleficent-related.

Classic Disney films including Pocahontas, Snow White and Frozen also inspired photo shoots -- such as the fairy tale mugshot series -- footwear and cosplay this month. Disney proves its true perseverance and influence as it permeates every industry from dishware to art.
